In the men’s category, the best surfer was Martim Nunes who reached 5th place. The current two-time Pro Junior national champion reached the quarter-finals having been eliminated by the Frenchman, Sam Piter, who scored 15.17 points against the national athlete’s 10.20.
Francisco Mittermayer finished in 9th place, behind the Israeli Elay Bochan and the French Luan Nogues.
